"Random summon. One hundred pulls."
With a casual wave, Aiden Cross dumped ten thousand energy points into the system. Compared to his million-point reserves, this was pocket change.
Notifications flooded in:
D-Class Hero — Elite Trap-Camp Soldiers
C-Class Hero — Gavin Shaw (capable of killing B-Class)
D-Class Hero — Fodder A Pseudo S-Class Hero — King
He had expected ninety-nine percent D-Class.
He had not expected to "high-roll" into an S-Class… only to see the word pseudo attached to it.
King—the so-called "Strongest Man on Earth"—whose real combat ability was effectively zero.
Frankly, Aiden Cross would rather have drawn another D-Class.
"So this counts as S-Class?"
Ding. 'Pseudo S-Class' indicates that, when used correctly, he can still produce S-Class deterrence.
Aiden Cross sighed.
So… psychological warfare.
A nuclear weapon that never fires.
As long as King never had to fight, his legend alone might be enough to scare enemies into retreat—especially with that ominous "King Engine" heartbeat.
"Alright. I'm done hoping to luck into multiple A-Class heroes."
He pressed a hand to his forehead. A few more Kings and he'd develop heart palpitations.
At present, the Association's A-Class-level fighters were:
All MightUlricStella NightfallHulk
Reserve candidates: pre-awakened Thor, early-stage Iron Man.
But to establish regional branches worldwide, each division needed an A-Class hero capable of standing alone.
Stella was too innocent.
Hulk was… a walking nuclear accident unless Banner and Hulk fully merged.
All Might was assigned to North America, headquarters in Ottawa.
Ulric was assigned to the Arctic—a quiet, symbolic post.
"Next is Asia Division Chief. It has to be a Chinese figure."
Aiden Cross thought carefully. Asia was vast and complex. This required not only strength, but judgment and leadership.
A name surfaced in his mind.
"Designated summon. Leon Hart."
Ding. Leon Hart (Historical, C-Class): 500 points
Leon Hart (Heroic Spirit, A-Class): 500,000 points
Aiden Cross chose without hesitation.
Leon Hart—the Ever-Victorious General.
Calm, decisive, experienced in governance, fiercely loyal, and formidable in combat.
A perfect subordinate.
He had considered figures like Qin Shi Huang—but that tier was far beyond what his energy reserves could currently afford.
"Summon the Heroic Spirit version."
Half a million points vanished instantly.
Energy points truly evaporated when used at this level.
A silver-white spear tore through the air.
A figure in white armor stepped forward from swirling light, presence steady as a mountain, eyes sharp as drawn steel.
Leon Hart had arrived.
